Osteoporosis is a known consequence of spinal cord injury (SCI) and occurs in almost every
SCI patient. It manifests itself as an increase in the incidence of lower extremity fractures …

Osteoporosis is the most common degenerative disease in the elderly. It is characterized by
low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to morbidity and …

Ontogenetic changes in the human femur associated with the acquisition of bipedal
locomotion, especially the development of the bicondylar angle, have been well …

In this pilot study, we point out potential differences between calcaneal trabecular
microarchitecture in humans and nonhuman large apes, such as increased degree of …

New quantitative ultrasound (QUS) techniques involving ultrasound backscattering have
been introduced for the assessment of bone quality. QUS parameters are affected by the …

Introduction Although both spinal cord injury (SCI) and sciatic neurectomy (NX) can cause
osteopaenia in young rats, the effects of these two injuries on cortical and cancellous bone …

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) makes use of image features, such as color and
texture, to index images with minimal human intervention. Content-based image retrieval …

Osteoporosis is a metabolic disorder that manifests changes in bone density and structure
accompanied by an increased susceptibility to fractures. Recent studies have demonstrated …

Introduction Bone fragility is determined by bone mass, measured as bone mineral density
(BMD), and by trabecular structure, which cannot be easily measured using currently …

There is increasing evidence that fracture risk in osteoporosis is not only related to bone
mineral density but also to a compilation of factors that are often referred to under the …
